Energy Incentive

Self-Generation Incentive Program

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) introduced the SGIP to encourage residents to use their self-generated energy. The program will offer rebates to families that use home energy storage technologies. Residential energy storage batteries, like the aPower battery, can help ease pressure on the grid and reduce the need for expensive fossil fuel power plants. Learn more about the California Self-Generation Incentive Program.

Federal Investment Tax Credit

The investment tax credit (ITC) is a tax credit that reduces the federal income tax liability for a percentage of the cost of a solar system that is installed during the tax year.

Battery Bonus/BYOD

The Battery Bonus program is a 10-year program and is designed to help move Hawaii toward its goal of 100% clean energy by 2045 and add more renewable resources to the grid as Hawaiian Electric retires generators fired by fossil fuels.

The program's enrollment is capped at a total of 40 megawatts (MW) supplied from storage on Oahu and 15 MW supplied from storage on Maui. Learn more about the Hawaii Battery Bonus program.

If you want to transition from Battery Bonus to Bring Your Own Device (BYOD), please fill out the Notice of Termination form and submit to batterybonus@hawaiianelectric.com as well as submit an online application through the Customer Interconnection Tool for BYOD.

Note: The Battery Bonus program is closed to new participants as of July 1, 2024.
